Top Trending Promotional Products for 2021

The Promo Gift Blog publishes the happenings in our industry such as promotional products case studies, marketing campaigns and other industry news. 

This year proved to be a challenging one for all of us in the promotional products space. While some of us took to producing PPE to help with the pandemic, others had to come up with creative solutions to stay afloat during this difficult period.

However, things seem to be looking up this holiday season, and we remain optimistic that it will be carried into 2021.  We have decided to collate a list of the items we believe will be the top trending products for next year. 

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

The pandemic affected businesses worldwide, with many of us forced to work from home. However, with the economy opening back up, the streets are begining to fill with people and emoloyees are returning to work. By focusing on PPEs, it is a great way to show that your brand cares about their consumers. This includes items such as sanitising wipes, alcohol sprays and face masks.

Masks are a simple barrier to help prevent your respiratory droplets from reaching others. Studies show that masks reduce the spray of droplets, helping prevent individuals from contract airborne diseases. Masks alsoprevent cross-contamination. Having a logo on the masks can be a stylish and safe way for brands to penetrate the market

Electronic Products for the Workforce

Many employees are still working remotely, with majority working from home. This means that many of them are looking to upgrade their electronics to be better equipped for their work. In addition, companies must ensure that their data is not compromised and safe from viruses and hackers. 

Some interesting products we came across includes a wireless mousepad charger and a fast charging data blocker.

A wireless charging mousepad is convenient and useful. Given that we are constantly running out of time, we want to be able to maximize our workflow and our time on the computer. Most importantly, it can keep your mouse charged even when you are done using it. Moreover, this mousepad allows you to charge your smartphones at the same time.

The data blocker attaches between a USB cable and charger. It physically blocks data transfer and syncing, keeping data safe from hackers and viruses. Brands can print their logo on the data blocker, as it is essential for a remote workforce.
